Engine swap question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

nwmud · 10-30-2001, 08:59 AM

We pulled the engine out of the '71 Scout (came with a 3-speed stick) and are prepping it to go in the '76 (came with a torqueflite.) It doesn't look like the crank in the '71 has the boss for the torque converter to register in. Anyone know about this? Does the flexplate have the pilot for the torque converter? I'd hate to get the engine ready to go and then not be able to use the automatic!

I know this is a newbie kind of question - so bring awn the flames - But answer the question <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

Well, Old scout,

I wanted to see who would have better suggestions. Besides, I figured you guys are smart here - Right? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
So If I told you up front I posted this on both places You all' would just have more reason to flame the newbie... <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
So any thoughts on the questions at hand?
